so beatiful! I would try Ptychopteridae, but I´m not sure as I never saw one like this, nice :)

I doubt this is Ptychopteridae, although the color pattern resembles some. Ptychopteridae lack a discal cell, have one anal vein curving to reach the wing margin, and have the distal part of Cu slightly "S" shaped after the crossvein.
